[RndTbl] Solaris printing again

I'm trying to set up a print queue in one Solaris zone to print to a
"development" printer which is a BSD/lpd (?) print service running on
another machine.

The production zone already has a printer just like it defined in
printers.conf like this:
cowsvpprmom:\
        :bsdaddr=192.168.59.113,GENERAL_ENTRY,Solaris:

My question: How do I duplicate this on the development zone, but with a
slightly different name and IP address? I've done a bunch of googling, but
I never get anything that results in a "GENERAL_ENTRY" item (or what the
heck *that* means) and I also get an extra line like
:printer-uri-supported=lpd\://172...
which I also don't understand.

Can someone help me out with the commands I need to use? This is Solaris 10.
